The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 58: It seems like I saw someone familiar

Shortly after receiving the urgent report from six hundred miles away, the heavy rain in the hunting palace stopped.

After the rain, the accumulated water on the grassland quickly dissipated, and the grass exuded bursts of fragrance, which made people feel refreshed just by taking a deep breath.

The Lie Mountain not far away is immersed in water, and its huge leaves dance in the wind, emitting faint light.

The rainbow after the rain surrounds Lie Mountain, adding a touch of tenderness to this mountain range where ferocious beasts roam.

It is a pity that no one appreciates such beautiful scenery nowadays.

Because the emperor issued an order, ordering the hunting palace camp to immediately move back to the capital without any delay.

Unlike the joy and excitement on the way here, everyone's face was filled with gloom on the way back. Everyone knew that the reason for the sudden return to the camp must be that something had happened in the court.

……

Because of the change in her status, Xu Rongrong changed into the county lady's ceremonial guard.

Wen Yao looked at the two tall horses pulling the carriage with joy. They were carrying the thick rosewood chariot, making the entire carriage look heavy and solemn.

Their carriage followed behind Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion.

Before getting on the car, Mu Yi came over with a stiff upper lip: "County Master..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Rongrong took out the improved hemostatic ointment from the medicine bag and threw it to him:

"Remember to change the medicine for the Marquis on time."

Just one sentence made Mu Yi's words, which were about to invite her to the Marquis' Mansion in carriage, get stuck in his throat.

"The county lady is so heartless." Mu Yi sighed inwardly. Because the matter was urgent, the carriage back to the capital was much faster than the way there.

But Wen Yao did not feel shaken at all. She was sharing the news she had gathered with her young lady: "I heard that there was a flood in the four provinces of Jiangnan. Due to the blocked roads, the news only reached the court today, and His Majesty hurried back to Beijing. Alas... I wonder how the people of Jiangnan have survived these days." "Jiangnan is rich and rainy, and the people are usually well prepared. Therefore, there may not be any serious problems for the time being. I am only afraid that if it is not handled properly, the disaster will last long." Jiangnan did not leave a good impression on Xu Rongrong.

Because Wen Yao and Luo Shu in their previous lives died there.

As for the flood, she was preoccupied with Mu Rong's injuries in her previous life, so she only remembered fragments of it.

The flood disaster lasted for a whole year.

The initial disaster relief measures had little effect, and the queen even took the lead in donating jewelry and silver, which were distributed along with the disaster relief money to Jiangnan.

Since the queen and the people in the harem set an example, the noble ladies and their wives in the capital naturally donated generously.

Her father, Xu Chaoqian, wanted to follow suit, but Xu Liushi cried out that she had been using her dowry to supplement the family income and had no money left, so she could only donate a few pieces of jewelry. Unwilling to lose face among his colleagues, Xu Chaoqian had no choice but to hastily sell his two thriving porcelain shops in the capital.

It was not until later in the Marquis's Mansion that she learned from Liu Ying'er that the shop had actually been secretly bought by Xu Liu.

The people of the capital loved luxury, and porcelain shops were extremely profitable. Xu Liu had long coveted the property, and after repeatedly asking Xu Chaoqian for it but to no avail, she seized the opportunity to completely seize it and make it her own. Unexpectedly, after the New Year, trade with foreign countries was opened, and Great Zhou porcelain became extremely popular among them, generating enormous profits. Xu Liu, with these two shops, firmly held Xu Chaoqian in her clutches.

Naturally, I can't let her have her wish in this life.

Of course, it cannot be left to Xu Chaoqian.

Xu Rongrong rested her hand on her chin, calculating the perfect moment to strike. Wen Yao handed her a cup of tea and lowered her voice, "I also heard that because the Commissioner of Promotion and Demotion in charge of Jiangnan Road is the Crown Princess's uncle, His Majesty was furious with the Crown Prince today."

Xu Rongrong was thinking about her own little plan. After hearing what she said, she smiled and said, "With Luo Shu away, you have become an expert in finding out information. You can even find out such secret things."

Wen Yao stuck out his tongue and said, "Deputy General Ai told me this when we were preparing the carriage this afternoon."

"Oh?" Xu Rongrong raised an eyebrow. "He's willing to stay with you. Could it be that he likes you?"

"Miss, please stop teasing me. He is the Marquis's deputy general, with countless military achievements, and I...how could he possibly be interested in me?"

"He's a soldier, decisive in his actions, and might not be as attached to status as the common people from aristocratic families. Besides, once you change your status in the future, you'll no longer be a slave and will be free to marry. Why do you have to belittle yourself?" Wen Yao brewed another cup of tea and handed it to her. "Even if the young lady cancels my slave status, I'll still be just a commoner. Lieutenant General Ai is now valued by the Marquis and has... great ambitions. He will definitely not be limited to the position of deputy general in the future. With his status, even if I marry him, I'll only be a concubine, ultimately still a slave. Since the young lady has canceled my slave status, why should I continue to humiliate myself?"

"You are quite insightful." Xu Rongrong was stunned for a moment and then stopped talking.

It is also a great thing to be able to face reality.

Wen Yao glanced out the window. "The curtain on the marquis's carriage has been opened towards us. He must want to see the young lady. Would you like to come over?"

Xu Rongrong remained motionless. "What's there to see? There are no flowers blooming on my face, nor are there any blood-draining plants growing on my face. Even if he sees it, it won't heal my wounds."

Wen Yao: “…” She wanted to tell the story of how the Marquis treated the young lady’s injuries twice in the hunting palace.

But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

The young lady must have her own reasons for being so resolute.

……

After an hour's rapid journey, the towering city walls of the capital were right in front of them.

Xu Rongrong lifted the car curtain and looked into the distance.

Just like when the Tathagata came, the city gate was full of people waiting to enter the city. In order to avoid the emperor's holy carriage, they were stopped aside by the imperial guards.

Suddenly, a figure suddenly entered her sight.

Xu Rongrong was startled, and when she looked again, it was gone again.

"Huh?" She wondered to herself.

"What's wrong, Miss?" Wen Yao asked.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm dazzled." Xu Rongrong said to herself.

Just now, she seemed to see...Chu He?

The man who had superb archery skills and shot her through the chest with an arrow.

She didn't have much hatred towards that person.

Because she knew that he was just Wu Tianqi's weapon.

Who to kill or not to kill is not decided by him.

She remembered that he had offered to help her when she was being humiliated by other women.

He also once held a lantern on a snowy night and walked along the corner of the palace wall to help her find the lost jade button.

Although he killed her, he also helped her.

But... she clearly remembered that in her previous life, he was saved by Wu Tianqi two years later, so she went to Beijing to help him.

So, I was really dazzled just now.

Xu Rongrong lowered the carriage curtain. Not far away, a man wearing a rain hat and cloak lowered his head and disappeared into the crowd.

He clenched the jade button in his hand.

Only after the carriage had gone far away did he raise his head and look at the rosewood carriage with a jade plaque with the word "peace" hanging on it, his eyes burning, unwilling to leave.
